LAUREN AND I DID THE THING TODAY AND WERE MORMONS AND ONLY ONE GUY ASKED WHAT WE WERE DOING AND IF WE WERE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES OH MY  GOD IT WAS MY VERY LAST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL EVER AND IF ANYONE REMEMBERS ME I WANT THEM TO REMEMBER ME AS THE GIRL WHO DRESSED UP AS A MORMON

what a legacy

…..right. its so much fun to make fun of other people’s lifestyle/religion. whooo ._.

they weren’t mocking the lifestyle they were dressing up as people in the book of mormon (musical) 

タグ: i was raised mormon and i understand i probably don't have the right to say much in the way of mormon bashing, but i know plenty of practising mormons who enjoy the book of mormon musical, and thus i don't think they'd be offended by mormon 'cosplay',

esotericalesbians: Rebecca Lolosoli in Umoja, Kenya (source)        Umoja is a small all-female village in Northern Kenya, comprised of women seeking refuge from sex-based violence. The word “umoja” translates from Swahili to English as “unity.” Umoja was founded by Rebecca Lolosoli, and women who had left their husbands and families to live a life independent of the patriarchy and it’s violent influences. Many women- homeless, runaways, or otherwise- have been attracted to Umoja. Young girls have evaded becoming child brides to older men by living under the rule of Lolosoli, a charismatic and strong matriarch in this small patch of Africa. The village is supported by a camping site and cultural center run by the villagers, as well as items made and sold by the women living in Umoja. The children living in and born in the village also have the opportunity to get an education, regardless of their sex. These children are also safe from horrors such as genital mutilation and rape, and have a chance to grow up learning of equality between the sexes.      Sebastian Lesinik, the patriarch of a rival village set up by angered men, is quoted by the Washington Post as having said of Lolosoli, ”She’s questioning our very culture. This seems to be the thing in these modern times. Troublemaking ladies like Rebecca.”       Lolosoli is a troublemaker and a living feminist legend. Before she ever spoke at the United Nations during a conference on gender empowerment, she would go house-to-house in nearby town Archer’s Post to inform women of their human rights. Today, the villagers of Umoji have withstood numerous trials, from death threats to a failed lawsuit and the village stands as a haven for Samburu women.
